In the Ctime of my cFmaj7onfession, in the Chour of my deepest Fmaj7need
When the Cpool of tears beFmaj7neath my feet Fflood every Gsus4newborn Fseed
There's a Cdyin' voice Fmaj7within me Creaching out Fmaj7somewhere,
CToiling in the Fmaj7danger and in the Fmorals Gsus4of despFair.
Don't have the incliG7nation to look Cback on any Fmistake,
Like Cain, I now G7behold this chain of eCvents that I must Fbreak. F
In the fCury of the Fmaj7moment I can Csee the Master's Fmaj7hand
In eCvery leaf that Fmaj7trembles, in Fevery A9sus4grain of Csand.
Oh, the flowers of indulgence and the weeds of yesteryear,
Like criminals, they have choked the breath of conscience and good =
cheer.
The sun beat down upon the steps of time to light the way
To ease the pain of idleness and the memory of decay.
I gaze into the doorway of temptation's angry flame
And every time I pass that way I always hear my name.
Then onward in my journey I come to understand
That every hair is numbered like every grain of sand.
I have gone from rags to riches in the sorrow of the night
In the violence of a summer's dream, in the chill of a wintry light,
In the bitter dance of loneliness fading into space,
In the broken mirror of innocence on each forgotten face.
I hear the ancient footsteps like the motion of the sea
Sometimes I turn, there's someone there, other times it's only me.
I am hanging in the balance of the reality of man
Like every sparrow falling, like every grain of sand.
